Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  The state may prosecute a criminal case against a person charged with driving under the influence (DUI); however, if you or a loved one was injured because of another’s decision to drive drunk, you must seek compensation in civil court in order to recover for your personal injury or wrongful death. Due to diminished sensory perception and motor skills, drunk drivers rarely take evasive measures to mitigate the severity of collisions, leading to severe, high-impact accidents and especially serious injuries. If your accident was caused by a drunk driver, our experienced and aggressive auto accident lawyers will fight to see you fairly compensated for the losses you have suffered. In some cases, it may also be possible to pursue recovery against parties that provided alcohol to the drunk driver; under Texas law, liability may attach to liquor stores, bars, or restaurants who serve alcohol to persons who are obviously intoxicated.
